Happy holiday???

Last week, I was very much looking forward to the three day Memorial weekend. My 4 year old had her preschool graduation last Thursday night and we were going to just relax, enjoy some family time and go to a BBQ on Sunday...some much needed R&R.
The graduation went well...it's all on video. All these little kids in their adorable little red caps and gowns, singing their little songs, doing their little motions. The whole thing totally overwhelmed me as I sat there thinking about how big my baby had become and how we are closing a chapter in her life with us and beginning the new and exciting venture of the school years. She looked so small and yet so big up there, all at the same time.
Okay, that was Thursday...what we didn't know was that the "fun" had just begun! That night my poor baby got sick with a stomach bug of some sort and spent the next 30 hours of her life vomiting and dehydrating. I thought we were out of the woods on Saturday morning, but sadly after a few sips of water and a soda cracker, we were back to square one. We ended up taking her to the emergency room, where I knew they would want to give her IV fluids. What I didn't know, or think about, was that she would end up with low blood sugar and electrolyte levels and that we would spend the next two days of our lives in the hospital! We were able to take her home Sunday night and she is definitely back to her normal self, appetite aside.
All I can say is thank goodness for the three day weekend! We actually managed to enjoy our Monday with good food, good company and good/abnormal weather!
